In 5120 BC observations were made at Goseck observatory, Germany, in its earliest stages. By 3200 BC, Bryn Celli Ddu and Newgrange observatories were in full operation, both brilliantly and carefully constructed for observing Venus, both built with a long history of about 1,900 years of observation behind them, at least a minimum of three 480 year cycles equaling 1,440 years. This dates early observations to between ca. 5120 and 4600 BC, suggesting developments in Ireland’s Boyne Valley, as earlier observatories preceded the magnificent Newgrange structure.
